Course description
What is bettering your life and the lives of your students and loved one’s worth to you? What is the driving force behind your purpose, behind your life? Is it to help others or hurt others? These are important questions to ask and important things to INVEST in! This is a private course for anyone who is and can presently and actively incorporate the information and materials into a current running program, class, course, curriculum, seminar, lectures etc. of any kind, even if it’s simply sharing this information with loved ones. No athleticism, martial arts or self defense experience is necessary.
This is NOT for the certificate collector, nor is it for those who want to learn how to fight or add a few new, cool tricks to their systems or styles. This is an advanced level type course specifically designed to show the participants how to apply, share and/or teach the information provided to those with no prior experience, those who perhaps have already unfortunately been victimised, those deemed vulnerable in societies as well as those who work in high-risk occupations and the like.
What to expect?
This is the most comprehensive and detailed ‘self defense’ course of its kind and is thus offered a few times per year, to strictly 10 participants per course of our choosing (based on the entries), and now held in the UK for the first time. Presented by two of the most respected architects in this sector Richard Dimitri & Pamela Armitage.
This course has nothing to do with martial arts or combatives nor does it cover any technical applications of any kind, no gimmicks, suits, clever acronyms and the like. This course goes way beyond the scope of pure and applied self defense. Over 90% of the information provided is theoretical and highly interactive.
The portion of physical skills covered are 100% in accordance with the adrenal stress condition phase and are rooted in human instincts and autonomic responses in relation to violence and are minimally fine tuned to enhance any human being’s survivability while considering any individual’s personal limitations.
Let us be clear if the above wasn’t already: there is no large focus on physical training done in this course. Day 4 will be spent on physical skills. Other scenario training involving communication, de-escalation etc. will be done prior. Anyone who understands the realities of violence understands that the delivery system in pure and applied self defense is not physical as the physical is incidental; it is psychological, behavioural and emotional.
The information shared and taught is not artistic, stylistic, systematic or manufactured; it is factual and based in behavioral science, human anatomy, physiology and psychology in relation to conflict and violence literally transcending styles, systems, cultures and race. The entire foundation is predicated on human behaviour, morality, ethics and the law making the information adaptable with minimal alteration for any field of endeavour or geographical location.
